145 wins, 5 SEC Football Championship appearances, 2 SEC Football Championships, 3 New Year’s Six Bowls and 2 New Year’s Six bowl wins, a 9-5 bowl appearance and nearly averaging 10 wins a season will now get you fired as an SEC football coach. Notice has been served, via Mark Richt now being the coach at The University at Miami.
Add in Gary Pinkel being replaced by Barry Odom and Steve Spurrier being replaced by Will Muschamp, and SEC football looks a lot different. Pinkel twice represented the SEC East in the Championship Game. Spurrier never quite experienced the same level of success in SEC football that he did at Florida, but he still guided the Gamecocks to an SEC East crown.
